🌈 On Mar 22, we co-hosted an LGBTQ+ & Allies Stewardship Day with #TurnOut & @savesfbay.bsky.social! Volunteers helped restore habitat at the Novato Baylands & spotted birds like #americanavocets & #snowyegrets. Huge thanks to all who came out in support! 💙🌎🧪🦉 #HabitatRestoration

Not a great video, but here's a flock of American Avocets circling a pond to escape a hunting Northern Harrier. By flocking, they confuse the hawks with too many potential targets. 😍

A pair of American Avocets from April 2023 at Metzger's Marsh Wildlife causeway, in Bono, OH. Two Avocets center frame both facing forward, one looking to the right, displaying their long thin beak. Note the warm rusty coloring of head and neck during breeding season.

Two American Avocets in nonbreeding colors, taken October 2023 on the causeway at Huntington Beach State Park, Murrel's Inlet, SC. One facing left, with reflection the other right of frame, facing forward, looking right. Avocets are small, slender shorebirds with long thin bills.

#AmericanAvocets are rarely spotted along the #DetroitRiver, but I happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture photos of this striking bird, far from its usual range. #BelleIsle, April 2023.
